### getRecordings

* **getRecordings**(): `Promise`\<\{ `recordings:` [`RoomSessionRecording`][roomsessionrecording-12] }>

Obtains a list of recordings for the current room session.

#### Returns

`Promise`\<\{ `recordings:` [`RoomSessionRecording`][roomsessionrecording-12] }>

A promise that resolves to an object containing the list of [`RoomSessionRecording`][roomsessionrecording-12] objects.

#### Example

In this example, we wait for a room to start and then start a recording in that room.
After 5 seconds, we then use `getRecordings` to get the list of recording objects.
We then loop through the list of recordings and print out the `state` and `id` of each recording.
Afterwards, we stop the recording. This example assumes that there is a [`RoomSession`][roomsession-41]
already active and that members are joining the room.

import { SignalWire } from "@signalwire/realtime-api";

// Initialize the SignalWire client
const client = await SignalWire({ project: "ProjectID Here", token: "Token Here" })

// Access the video client from the main client
const videoClient = client.video;

// Setup listener for when a room starts
await videoClient.listen({
  onRoomStarted: async (roomSession) => {
    console.log("Room started", roomSession.displayName);

    let roomRecording = roomSession.startRecording({
      listen: {
        onStarted: () => {
          console.log("Recording started");
        },
        onUpdated: (recording) => {
          console.log("Recording updated", recording.state);
        },
        onEnded: (recording) => {
          console.log(`Recording ended.
          Recording State: ${recording.state}.
          Recording Id: ${recording.id}`);

        },
      }
    })
    setTimeout( async () => {
      // Get the roomSession recordings
      let rooomRecordings = await roomSession.getRecordings();
      rooomRecordings.recordings.forEach(recording => {
        console.log("Active Recording", recording.id, recording.state);
      });

      // Stop recording after 5 seconds
      roomRecording.stop();
    }, 5000);

    // Setup listener for when a member joins
    await roomSession.listen({
      onMemberJoined: async (member) => {
        console.log("Member joined", member.name);

    },
      onMemberLeft: (member) => {
        console.log("Member left", member.name);
      },
    });
  },
  onRoomEnded: async (roomSession) => {
